Issues and solutions when uploading java entity models from Blockbench (5.3.1)
Sun, 08/30/2020 - 14:36 (edited)

A few issues can occur when trying to upload java entity models from Blockbench (5.3.1) into Mcreator.

These are some issues I ran into and how I resolved them:
 

[Note: Many of these issues can be fixed by updating Mcreator to the most recent version]

Problem:
Mcreator says that the model name is invalid when uploading even though the model name meets the requirements.
Possible Solution:
Blockbench exports with a comment at the top of the '.java' model file. Deleting this will do:

3 lines of comments to be deleted

 

Problem:
Mcreator's 'Model animation definition wizard" screen appears but does not show options to change a model's animation.
Possible Solution:
Blockbench's recent update switched variable names, I got around this error by replacing these variable names in the '.java' model file:

RendererModel —> ModelRenderer

EntityModel —> ModelBase

 

Problem:
Mcreator's 'Model animation definition wizard" does not show the parts I want to animate. Or nothing at all.
Possible Solution:
In the Blockbench editor, you will need to branch your models into trees with the "Add group" button under "Outliner":
(There are a lot of materials on this elsewhere, but for the sake of convenience)

The outliner can be seen on the right side of the screen.

You should be able to click and open the '.java' file if you know where it is.

Picture of the file and code editor

I use Sublime Text Editor to edit code.
Changing the file extention to ".txt", editing, and then back to ".java" will work just as well.
